If you know the names Julian Barratt, Simon Farnaby and Steve Coogan you'll know that they're some of the greatest comedic actors of their generation. I'm struggling to find the exact reasons why Mindhorn seems disappointing, possibly because it lacks the energy of comparable flicks like Hot Fuzz. It scrapes its way to a six because the second half picks up the pace a bit and becomes more engaging. Talent like this will always be more entertaining than the competition, it's just that I'd rather see it stretched into something a little crazier than settle for being merely comfortable.
